Hudson River Hotel

Found this affordable hotel for a quick work trip to NYC. I booked two rooms, and I found bed bugs in my mattress when I first got to the room. I went down immediately and asked for a full refund, and went up the street to another hotel. I am still waiting to heard back from the hotel on my refund.

The location is great but the rooms are small. This is good if you are staying for 1-3 days. It wasn't busy so the noise level was low. I would recommend if you planning on hanging in New York but want some where quiet to sleep it off.

I wanted somewhere close to the Javits Centre for a conference but that cost materially less than hotels like Yotel. Hudson River did not disappoint. It's a narrow and tall building with 4 rooms per floor. Mine was on the 6th floor; it was basic but clean with a comfortable king sized bed. The bathroom was pretty good with both a bath and powerful shower, though some of the furniture in the room, especially the wardrobe, was a bit tired.The room overlooked 36th street but was reasonably quiet as the window is sealed. The air conditioning was fine. A very basic breakfast (coffee and croissants) is included and the staff were friendly. The internet connection was good enough to let me stream a programme from the BBC with a few pauses. For the price I would recommend Hudson River Hotel.

We were happy with our room. Breakfast was small, it was better than nothing. Coffee was there.

This is not a luxury hotel. What it is, is a comfortable hotel with a staff that goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and a terrific location for Javits, Penn Station or Madison Square Garden. Most theaters are walkable, and you won't even need the subway for most things. Would happily stay there again.
